One ACCU represents one tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2-e) greenhouse gas that is not
released into the atmosphere. In order to be issued ACCUs you must run an eligible, registered project
in accordance with the relevant rules.
If you run an ERF project which sequesters carbon you may be able to earn Australian carbon credit
units (ACCUs).
These are not cash from the Australian Government but are certified financial products that can be
sold to the Australian Government or to businesses wishing to offset their emissions.
